The MySQL driver is not distributed from apache.org due to licensing issues.

If you wish to build the driver, download apr_dbd_mysql.c from
http://apache.webthing.com/database/
and copy it into the dbd directory.
Now run buildconf, followed by configure.

It is distributed under the GPL to conform with MySQL License terms
This means it cannot be distributed from apache.org, as that would
violate ASF policy.

Using the driver with APR and Apache is of course allowed,
and there is no problem with a third party bundling the driver,
provided you respect both the ASF and GPL licenses.
